July is the hottest month of the year. Don’t worry, though, if you stay in the city: there are plenty of wonderful, cool places to go in Rome (and nearby). Get inspired: here are fantastic experiences you could have this month… Which one do you prefer?
Opera in Rome
At the Church of San Paolo Entro le Mura you can travel back in time and back to the 18th century with this concert that pays tribute to Vivaldi and Bach. The Opera in Roma Baroque Orchestra is joined by talented soloists; the concert includes not only the symphonic part but also a sung part.
Visit the Borgo Magico delle streghe
Calcata is considered a magical village, where hippies and witches are said to live. The quaint old town sits on a Tuff mountain and overlooks the Treja valley, near the beautiful waterfalls. Less than 1,000 people live in this municipality, 45 km from Rome. Here you can also visit a museum unlike any other: Opera Bosco Museum of Art in Nature. The museum-laboratory inside the Treja Valley Park is really special!

Discover the Devil’s Pools
Near Monte San Giovanni in Sabina, in the hills of Mount Tancia, is an enchanting place to explore. Here, a waterfall embedded in rock plunges into beautiful natural pools known as the Devil’s Pools. The crystalline color of the water creates the illusion of being in a corner of paradise.
Aperitif on the Tiber: evening boat ride and drinks
How about an aperitif on the Tiber with a boat ride? Starting from the Tiber Island, you can admire the Eternal City from a different perspective with all its magic. It’s a different way to spend an evening with friends or a loved one, between appetizers, a glass of wine and a view of Rome.

Videocity
From July 3 to 6, 2025, the eighth edition of Videocity – Festival of Vision and Digital Culture is back!
For four days, the Gazometro in Rome becomes a nerve center of cultural innovation, hosting installations, video art, video mapping, immersive experiences, talks and audiovisual performances.
The 2025 edition pays tribute to the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of the Creatures, choosing the Sun as the emblem of life, light and energy.
The Hawaii-themed water park

A day at the pool
